My Poker Year To Date

As you can see, it started off pretty miserably. This graph stretches from Jan 1, 2008 to June 20, 2008. The point in the middle where my year-to-date earnings crossed from positive into negative came at roughly March 25.

That's a long time and a lot of hands to not be making any money, especially since being a winning poker player is a significant chunk of how I think of myself. I would've gone crazy without Amanda being there to talk me down from the ledge (figuratively), and I'm sure I drove her a bit crazy, so thank you Amanda.

Things have picked up quite a bit, so this year my $/hand is almost as high as it was last year. It's a big relief.
